"This is a thumb ring that has been passed down in the Northern Mountain's Ou Clan for generations. It's only passed down to the Clan Leaders … It's said that this thumb ring was passed down by the first Clan Leader of the Ou Clan 10,000 years ago."
Although Ou Lie did not know why Duan Lingtian would ask this, he still answered truthfully, "I hope you can return this thumb ring to the Ou Clan after you kill me … If you think it's too troublesome, you can ask the Lu Clan to pass it on your behalf."
Ou Lie looked at Lu Rui when he reached the end of his sentence.
Lu Rui glanced at Ou Lie coldly before he looked at Duan Lingtian. "Elder Duan, I've heard of the Ou Clan's thumb ring as well … However, it's an item that has been passed down in the Ou Clan for generations. It's only a commemorative item and has no value."
After speaking to Duan Lingtian, Lu Rui looked at Ou Lie again and said nonchalantly, "Initially, I can't help you with what you've done today …"
"However, since the Ou Clan and our Lu Clan used to be friends, I can ask someone to send this thumb ring to the Ou Clan after you die if Elder Duan is willing."
"Thank you."
Ou Lie bowed to Lu Rui with a sincere expression and thanked him.
Today, he knew that he deserved to die, and that his death was not worth regretting.
However, if he lost the thumb ring that had been passed down in the Ou Clan for 10,000 years, he would be a sinner in the Ou Clan. This was not an outcome he was willing to see.
Whoosh!
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Lingtian vanished from his spot and appeared in front of Ou Lie when he reappeared.
Before Ou Lie could react, Duan Lingtian vanished before his eyes again and returned to his original spot.
Ou Lie immediately looked at his right hand and noticed the ring on his thumb was nowhere to be seen. Horror dawned on his face as he looked at Duan Ling Tian in a panic.
"Sir, you …"
Just when he was about to beg the purple-clad young man to return the thumb ring to him, he realized the purple-clad young man was looking at the thumb ring in his hand with a gentle gaze.
Moreover, there was a hint of nostalgia in the purple-clad young man's eyes as well.
Just when everyone present, including Ou Lie, had no idea what was going on, a voice suddenly rang out.
Duan Lingtian finally retracted his gaze from the thumb ring in his hand. His gaze immediately shifted to Ou Lie as he asked in a deep voice, "What's the relationship between Ou Yezi and your Northern Mountain's Ou Clan?"
Ou Yezi!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, everyone in the Lu Clan, including the Clan Leader, Lu Rui, was confused.
Ou Lie, on the other hand, was horrified. His body trembled as he stared at Duan Lingtian in disbelief. He asked in a trembling voice, "H-How did you know about our Ou Clan's Old Ancestor?"
"The Ou Clan's Ancestor?"
Duan Lingtian frowned and asked in a deep voice, "You mean … your Beiling Ou Family was single-handedly established by Ou Yezi?"
"Elder Duan, don't be fooled by him!"
Before Ou Lie could reply to Duan Lingtian, Lu Rui had already spoken first, "As far as I know, the Beiling Ou Clan was established by a grade one alchemist named Ou Jie 10,000 years ago. It's not Ou Yezi!"
"Moreover, the first ten generations of Ou Clan's Clan Leaders are recorded in the handwritten notes passed down by our Lu Clan's ancestors. There's no such person named Ou Yezi."
Lu Rui finished his sentence in one breath.
"Lu Rui, don't be so sure."
At this moment, Ou Lie looked at Lu Rui calmly and said in a neither fast nor slow manner, "Ou Jie is indeed the Old Ancestor who established our Northern Mountain's Ou Clan. This is undeniable."
"Moreover, it's not just the first ten generations of Ou Clan's Clan Leaders. There's no such person named Ou Yezi even among the Ou Clan's Clan Leaders."
Ou Lie continued.
"You've already admitted it, and you're still asking me not to be so sure?"
Lu Rui sneered. "Don't forget that our Northern Mountain's Lu Clan is similar to your Northern Mountain's Ou Clan. We're both clans that have been passed down for 10,000 years in the Northern Mountain Land … If you want to deceive Elder Duan, you'll have to get past us first."
"It's one thing for me to admit it, but it's another thing for Ou Yezi to be the Old Ancestor of our Northern Mountain's Ou Clan."
Ou Lie said.
"Then I'd like to hear how you're going to cover up your lie."
The sneer on Lu Rui's face deepened.
After Ou Lie glanced at Lu Rui indifferently, he no longer looked at Lu Rui. Instead, he looked at Duan Lingtian who was standing nearby. "Sir, although our Northern Mountain's Lu Clan was not established by Ou Yezi, we're still closely related to him."
"The first Clan Leader of our Northern Mountain's Lu Clan, Ou Jie, is Ou Yezi's grandson! As for the ring in your hand, it's said that Ou Yezi passed it down to his son, Ou Jie's father, the first Clan Leader of our Northern Mountain's Lu Clan. "
"After that, the father of the first generation Patriarch of the Northern Mountain's Lu Clan, Ou Jie, passed this ring to him … Ever since then, this ring has become the Patriarch's token that has been passed down in the Lu Clan."
Ou Lie finished his sentence in one breath.
"You make it sound like it's true," Lu Rui said disdainfully.
It was obvious that he did not believe Lu Rui's words.
"Then, what's the name of the person who passed the ring to the first Clan Leader of your Northern Mountain's Lu Clan?"
Unlike Lu Rui's disdain, Duan Lingtian looked calm as he stared at Ou Lie and asked.
"According to the records in the handbook passed down by our Ou Clan's ancestor, the first Clan Leader of our Northern Mountain's Lu Clan, Ou Jie's father is called Ou Hong!"
Ou Lie said unhurriedly.
Ou Hong!
Upon hearing Ou Lie's words, Duan Lingtian narrowed his eyes slightly. His emotions could not help but surge.
He did not expect there to be such a coincidence in this world!
The Northern Mountain's Lu Clan was established 10,000 years ago by a person who was guided by the Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
Although Reincarnation Emperor Wu had never met the person who established the Northern Mountain's Ou Clan, he knew the person's grandfather and father, the Emperor Wu.
10,000 years ago was when the Reincarnation Emperor Wu had reincarnated.
During the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's first reincarnation, apart from cultivating his cultivation base to the Emperor Wu Stage, he had also achieved a great achievement in the Medicine Refinement Dao.
In the end, he became a Royal Grade Alchemist!
Later on, due to the Three Lives Rebirth Technique that he cultivated, he underwent reincarnation. After his soul had been dormant for 10,000 years, he was reborn. This was his second reincarnation.
In the era 10,000 years ago, he reincarnated.
During that era, the Reincarnation Emperor Wu relied on his past life's memories, medicine refinement techniques, and experience to quickly skyrocket.
Due to the fact that he had reincarnated, his cultivation was twice as fast with half the effort. He also had a lot of extra time, so he began to study the Weapon Refinement Dao and the Inscription Dao.
When he was studying the Weapon Refinement Dao, the person who left the deepest impression on the Reincarnation Emperor Wu was a grade one Weapons Craftsman named Ou Yezi.
According to the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memories, Ou Yezi was someone who had reached the threshold of the Quasi Royal Grade Alchemist earlier than him.
Due to the fact that Ou Yezi could not break through to the Martial Monarch Stage in his entire life, he could not condense the Quasi Royal Grade Pill Fire. He was not fated to become a Quasi Royal Grade Alchemist.
"During that era, there were not as many Martial Monarchs on Cloud Continent as there are now … Monarch Stage Profundity Fragments were also extremely rare."
It was easy for Duan Lingtian to find out about this through the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memories.
"According to the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, it was all thanks to the guidance of Ou Yezi that he was able to avoid taking many detours in the Dao of Weapons Refinement all those years ago … Ou Yezi could be considered to be the only 'teacher' he acknowledged in his second lifetime."
"After the Reincarnation Emperor Wu broke through to the Martial Monarch Stage and killed his first Martial Monarch, he wanted to give the Monarch Stage Profundity Fragment to Ou Yezi … Who knew that when he saw Ou Yezi again, Ou Yezi had already passed away!"
"Because of this, he gave the Profundity Fragment to Ou Yezi's only son, Ou Hong!"
Previously, Duan Lingtian found the thumb ring in Ou Lie's hand to be somewhat familiar. After searching the Reincarnation Emperor Wu's memories, he found out that he had seen the thumb ring before.
At that time, the thumb ring was in Ou Yezi's hand.
Due to this reason, he vaguely felt that the Northern Mountain's Ou Clan might be related to Ou Yezi. However, he did not expect them to really be related.
The Northern Mountain's Ou Clan was built by Ou Yezi's grandson.
"For the sake of Ou Yezi, I'll spare your life today!"
Duan Lingtian returned to his senses and glanced at Ou Lie indifferently. With a lift of his hand, he tossed the thumb ring back to Ou Lie.
Although he was not the third reincarnation of the Reincarnation Emperor Wu, he had obtained many benefits from the Reincarnation Emperor Wu. Therefore, he was still willing to spare Ou Lie's life for the sake of the Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
Ou Lie was extremely excited that he had managed to survive. Moreover, the Clan Leader's thumb ring that had been passed down in the Ou Clan had returned. However, he quickly calmed down.
"Your ancestor was friends with our Ou Clan's Old Ancestor?"
Ou Lie asked solemnly as he looked at Duan Lingtian.
This was the only thing he could think of.
"You can say that."
Duan Lingtian said nonchalantly, "You may leave."
Ou Lie nodded and turned around to leave immediately. He was so fast that it was as though he was afraid Duan Lingtian would regret his decision.
Lu Rui was stunned when he saw Duan Lingtian letting Ou Lie go. However, he did not say anything.
"It seems like that Ou Yezi or whatever from the Ou Clan was friends with Elder Duan 10,000 years ago … Otherwise, Elder Duan wouldn't have let him go."
Lu Rui speculated.
Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Lingtian's figure disappeared and reappeared from time to time.
Duan Lingtian had taken the Spatial Rings and Profundity Fragments from Cheng He and the other three.
He was pleasantly surprised when he found out Mo Jie's Profundity Fragment was a Sword Profundity Fragment.
"Xiong Quan!"
Duan Lingtian raised his hand and tossed the Sword Profundity Fragment to Xiong Quan under the envious and jealous gazes of the others.
Xiong Quan caught the fragment as though it was a treasure. His face was filled with excitement.
Currently, he was no longer the ignorant fool who had not seen the world. Naturally, he knew his Young Master had given him a precious Sword Profundity Fragment.
With this Profundity Fragment, he would be able to comprehend the Sword Profundity in a short period of time.
At that time, he would be able to break through to the Void Transformation Stage and use the spirit fruits to boost his cultivation base. He would then be able to break through to the Martial Monarch Stage and become a Martial Monarch powerhouse.
"At that time, I'll be able to help Young Master."
